- NCSU-2022-177-02 NCSU-41009.601 ENGINEERED MICROORGANISMS WITH ENHANCED PROTEIN EXPRESSION AND SECRETION CROSS REFERENCE TO RELTED APPLICATIONS [001]
- This application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/376,912 filed September 23, 2022, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety and for all purposes.
- GOVERNMENT FUNDING [002] This invention was made with government support under grant number CBET1934284 awarded by the National Science Foundation. The government has certain rights in the invention.
- the present disclosure provides materials and methods related to the production of peptides and polypeptides from engineered microorganisms.

- Engineered probiotics provide unique strategies for disease prevention and treatment.
- Engineered probiotics are microorganisms that are genetically engineered to stably deliver biotherapeutics, detect disease markers, or perform beneficial functions in the gut environment.
- Probiotics can be genetically engineered to convert nutrients available in the gut environment to therapeutics or supplements that are not readily available for the host. Additionally, they can be engineered to eliminate metabolic waste or toxins.
- probiotics have been engineered to NCSU-2022-177-02 NCSU-41009.601 target pathogens such as Clostridioides difficile, treat metabolic diseases such as Phenylketonuria or deliver biotherapeutics such as interleukin-10 to treat inflammatory bowel disease.
- engineered probiotics can sense and respond to their environment, improving targeting and dosage of therapeutics.
- Engineered probiotics can potentially be used as a drug delivery platform for many current therapies, target new diseases or treat infections in the gut environment. While all engineered probiotics that are currently in clinical trials are bacterial probiotics, yeast probiotics are currently investigated as a candidate for other applications. However, one challenge in the development of engineered probiotics for use in human patients is control over dosage. If expression of a therapeutic is constitutive (i.e., “always on”) dosage of the therapeutic becomes difficult to control. Additionally, biosynthesis of a therapeutic molecule is often energy- and nutrient-intensive, potentially decreasing the fitness of the engineered probiotic within the gut microbiota, thereby reducing colonization. Therefore, it would be advantageous to control the timing and level of expression of a therapeutic product in S.

- oligonucleotide refers to a short length of single-stranded polynucleotide chain. Oligonucleotides are typically less than about 300 residues long (e.g., between 15 and 100), however, as used herein, the term is also intended to encompass longer polynucleotide chains. Oligonucleotides are often referred to by their length. For example, a 24- residue oligonucleotide is referred to as a “24-mer.” Oligonucleotides can form secondary and tertiary structures by self-hybridizing or by hybridizing to other polynucleotides.
- peptide and polypeptide generally refer to polymer compounds of two or more amino acids joined through the main chain by peptide amide bonds (--C(O)NH--).
- peptide typically refers to short amino acid polymers (e.g., chains having fewer than 25 amino acids), whereas the term “polypeptide” typically refers to longer amino acid polymers (e.g., chains having more than 25 amino acids).
- isolated polynucleotide generally refers to a polynucleotide (e.g., of genomic, cDNA, or synthetic origin, or a combination thereof) that, by virtue of its origin, the isolated polynucleotide is not associated with all or a portion of a polynucleotide with which the “isolated polynucleotide” is found in nature; is operably linked to a polynucleotide that it is not linked to in nature; or does not occur in nature as part of a larger sequence.
- a polynucleotide e.g., of genomic, cDNA, or synthetic origin, or a combination thereof
- sequence identity generally refers to the degree two polymer sequences (e.g., peptide, polypeptide, nucleic acid, etc.) have the same sequential composition of monomer subunits.
- sequence similarity refers to the degree with which two polymer NCSU-2022-177-02 NCSU-41009.601 sequences (e.g., peptide, polypeptide, nucleic acid, etc.) have similar polymer sequences.
- similar amino acids are those that share the same biophysical characteristics and can be grouped into the families, e.g., acidic (e.g., aspartate, glutamate), basic (e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine), non-polar (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan) and uncharged polar (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, cysteine, serine, threonine, tyrosine).
- acidic e.g., aspartate, glutamate
- basic e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine
- non-polar e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan
- uncharged polar e.g.
- the “percent sequence identity” is calculated by: (1) comparing two optimally aligned sequences over a window of comparison (e.g., the length of the longer sequence, the length of the shorter sequence, a specified window), (2) determining the number of positions containing identical (or similar) monomers (e.g., same amino acids occurs in both sequences, similar amino acid occurs in both sequences) to yield the number of matched positions, (3) dividing the number of matched positions by the total number of positions in the comparison window (e.g., the length of the longer sequence, the length of the shorter sequence, a specified window), and (4) multiplying the result by 100 to yield the percent sequence identity or percent sequence similarity.
- a window of comparison e.g., the length of the longer sequence, the length of the shorter sequence, a specified window
- peptides A and B are both 20 amino acids in length and have identical amino acids at all but 1 position, then peptide A and peptide B have 95% sequence identity. If the amino acids at the non-identical position shared the same biophysical characteristics (e.g., both were acidic), then peptide A and peptide B would have 100% sequence similarity. As another example, if peptide C is 20 amino acids in length and peptide D is 15 amino acids in length, and 14 out of 15 amino acids in peptide D are identical to those of a portion of peptide C, then peptides C and D have 70% sequence identity, but peptide D has 93.3% sequence identity to an optimal comparison window of peptide C.
- expression vector is a DNA molecule, linear or circular, that comprises a segment encoding a polypeptide of interest operably linked to additional segments that provide for its transcription. Such additional segments may include promoter and terminator sequences, and optionally one or more origins of replication, one or more selectable markers, an enhancer, a polyadenylation signal, and the like. Expression vectors are generally derived from plasmid or viral DNA, or may contain elements of both.
- Transcriptional and translational control sequences are DNA regulatory sequences, such as promoters, enhancers, terminators, and the like, NCSU-2022-177-02 NCSU-41009.601 that provide for the expression of a coding sequence in a host cell.
- polyadenylation signals are control sequences.
- secretory signal sequence is a DNA sequence that encodes a polypeptide (a “secretory peptide” that, as a component of a larger polypeptide, directs the larger polypeptide through a secretory pathway of a cell in which it is synthesized. The larger polypeptide is commonly cleaved to remove the secretory peptide during transit through the secretory pathway.
- promoter is used herein for its art-recognized meaning to denote a portion of a gene containing DNA sequences that provide for the binding of RNA polymerase and initiation of transcription. Promoter sequences are commonly, but not always, LTZSJ OS YNK .e STS&ITJOSM WKMOTSX TL MKSKX' [041]
- operably linked when referring to DNA segments, indicates that the segments are arranged so that they function in concert for their intended purposes, e.g., transcription initiates in the promoter and proceeds through the coding segment to the terminator.
- a coding sequence is “under the control” of transcriptional and translational control sequences in a cell when RNA polymerase transcribes the coding sequence into mRNA, which is then trans-RNA spliced and translated into the protein encoded by the coding sequence.
- heterologous DNA refers to DNA not naturally located in the cell, or in a chromosomal site of the cell. Preferably, the heterologous DNA includes a gene foreign to the cell. 2.

- Example 1 [082] Experiments were conducted to investigate the performance of ligand-responsive gene expression systems that were previously investigated in S. cerevisiae in S. boulardii, and JKRTSXYWGYK YNKOW ZYOQOY ⁇ LTW XK[KWGQ GUUQOIGYOTSX OS KSMOSKKWKJ UWTHOTYOIX' BH8GQj% G MGQGIYTXK& competent strain of S. boulardii, was constructed and activation of the pGAL1 galactose-inducible promoter was demonstrated.
- Dose-response behavior for this promoter was analyzed, in addition to four other inducible promoters (xylose, lactose or IPTG (Isopropyl ß-D-1- NCSU-2022-177-02 NCSU-41009.601 thiogalactopyranoside), copper, and anhydrotetracycline), establishing the first set of ligand- responsive expression systems in probiotic yeast. Results indicated that all 5 inducible systems demonstrated different gene activation ranges, and with non-toxic inducers that are largely absent from the human diet. The behavior of these promoters was investigated under anaerobic conditions similar to those found in the gut.
- the lactose disaccharide As one of the monosaccharides comprising the lactose disaccharide, it is generally non-toxic to humans, except in the case of galactosemia, a rare genetic disorder that prevents galactose metabolism.
- Liu et al demonstrated that the PGM2 gene in S. boulardii MYA- 796 harbors a point mutation that introduces a premature stop codon, leading to a truncated phosphoglucomutase enzyme and a very slow growth rate of S. boulardii on galactose.

- yeGFP yeast-enhanced green fluorescent protein
- boulardii does not seem to efficiently metabolize galactose (FIG. 1B), it can still allow galactose-inducible gene expression (FIG.1L)
- the inefficiency of galactose metabolism presents a problem with pGAL1-based gene expression in the wild-type strain, as another metabolizable carbon source must be provided.
- Glucose inhibits pGAL1 induction, so glucose NCSU-2022-177-02 NCSU-41009.601 cannot be used as a carbon source for wild-type S. boulardii when gene expression is desired.
- the copper-inducible pCUP1 promoter (from MoClo Yeast Toolkit (YTK)) was used, as well as three engineered minimal promoters previously described: pTET (inducible by anhydrotetracycline (aTc)), pLAC (inducible by IPTG), and pXYL (inducible by xylose). All three of these promoters consist of two repressor-binding operator sequences, separated by spacers, placed upstream of a minimal ADH2 transcriptional start site.

- the yeGFP was placed under the control of each inducible promoter and transformed the resulting yeast expression vectors to the BH8GQj XYWGOS TL S. boulardii.

- tetR, lacI, and xylR were also introduced.
- each of the five strains were subinoculated into synthetic media with various concentrations of their respective inducers and grew for 20 hours before measuring fluorescence using the flow cytometer.
- Glucose was used as the carbon source for all strains except the pGAL1-yeGFP strain, in which raffinose was used as a carbon source.
- the pCUP1-yeGFP strain was grown in copper sulfate-free media to reduce nonspecific induction. All five systems showed increasing fluorescence with increasing inducer concentration, demonstrating ligand-responsive gene expression in S. boulardii (FIG. 2).
- the pCUP1 promoter exhibited the highest fluorescence level at low inducer concentration, matching previous reports that it is a “leaky” promoter.
- Example 3 [086] Inducible systems enable tunable gene expression in an anaerobic environment. Engineering programmable gene expression in S.
- boulardii in vivo would enable it to deliver NCSU-2022-177-02 NCSU-41009.601 nutrients or therapeutics to the gut environment in a tunable fashion, expanding its utility as a “living medicine.” Due to their high fold-induction and high expression levels, experiments focused on the performance of pXYL, pLAC, and pGAL under gut-like conditions. Because the large intestine (where S. boulardii primarily resides) is characterized by very low oxygen concentrations, the performance of the selected inducible systems under was analyzed anaerobic conditions.

- Example 4 Inducible systems enable ligand-responsive surface display in S. boulardii. Having demonstrated inducible gene expression in S. boulardii under anaerobic conditions, experiments NCSU-2022-177-02 NCSU-41009.601 were conducted to investigate several possible applications for these inducible systems. As a case study, surface display was selected. Surface display of proteins on the cell surface of commensal bacteria has enabled enhanced colonization of the gut and localization of the bacteria to specific therapeutic sites. Therefore, enabling surface display in S. boulardii will add to its programmability as a therapeutic. In S.
- surface display is enabled by fusing the protein of interest to Aga2. Upon expression of the fusion protein, it localizes to the cell wall surface through disulfide bonds between Aga1 and Aga2, resulting in display of the protein of interest.
- the cell surface anchor protein Aga1 was expressed in the genome using inducible pGAL1, and an Aga2-GFP fusion protein was expressed under inducible control of pGAL1 on a low-copy plasmid. GFP was selected as the protein of interest for surface display.
- inducible expression is preferable to constitutive expression as it enables the cell population to grow to the requisite size before initiating surface display.
- Example 5 Inducible systems enable orthogonal gene expression. Engineered microbes can sometimes be programmed to make use of multiple inducible promoters each responding to different inducer molecules. Experiments were conducted to investigate whether any inducible promoters in the library responded to inducer molecules from other systems, as such “crosstalk” could present a barrier to engineering more complex circuit behavior. To check for crosstalk, yeast cultures harboring each inducible system were grown in cultures containing high concentrations of each of the five inducer molecules, as well as a no-inducer control.
- Flow cytometry was used to check for fluorescence in each culture. It was found that two inducible systems, the pGAL1 and pLAC system, exhibited significant crosstalk, with galactose inducing a 7.4-fold increase in pLAC expression and IPTG producing a 2-fold increase in pGAL1 expression (FIG. 5A). This lack of orthogonality most likely arises from the chemical similarity between the two inducer molecules.
- the pCUP1 promoter appears to exhibit 2-fold activation from IPTG and galactose as well, and aTc induces a small increase ( ⁇ 1.5-fold) in the pLAC and pXYL systems.
- the pGAL1 system exhibited the highest fold-change (23-fold) in expression following induction with the intended ligand, while pCUP1 had the lowest (5.5-fold).
- This data suggests that although the five inducible systems are not fully orthogonal, several sets of two systems exist with minimal crosstalk between NCSU-2022-177-02 NCSU-41009.601 them, such as pCUP1 and pXYL, pLAC and pXYL, pTET and pCUP1, pXYL and pGAL1, and pGAL and pTET, with this final pair exhibiting the least amount of off-target repression or induction.
- Example 6 Galactose metabolism increases and prolongs gut colonization by Sb. Gut mucus is decorated with glycans that serve as a primary carbon source for many intestinal microbes. These glycans are primarily composed of galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine, fucose, and sialic acid.
- mice consumed the noncaloric sweetener sucralose in their water (S), but one of these groups of mice also consumed galactose (S+G).
- Sb noncaloric sweetener sucralose in their water
- S+G galactose
- Example 7 Inducible systems enable responsive in vivo protein production in mouse models. Recombinant proteins can be synthesized in situ in the mammalian gut using engineered probiotics. This cellular mechanism enables delivery of therapeutic and/or diagnostic proteins to the disease location providing sustainable treatment or tracking of the disease.
- GAL1 promoter In order to test whether GAL1 promoter can be used and induced to produce recombinant proteins in the mouse gut, constructed a SbGal+ strain with a plasmid encoding for nanoluciferase (NLuc) protein under the control of GAL1 promoter (SbGal+-NLuc).
- SbGal+-NLuc strain was functional and able to produce nanoluciferase when cultured in media (CSM-U) supplemented with galactose.
- CSM-U media
- the detection of nanoluciferase produced by SbGal+-NLuc in supernatant samples was at its optimum 5 minutes after assay development.
- the SbGal+ strain expressing yeGFP was cultured under the control of pGAL1 in media prepared from chow diet pellets with or without addition of galactose to test whether the diet would inhibit and/or achieve pGAL1.
- mice were given different SbGal+ strains or exposed to different sugar induction in water for 2 days (Day 0- Day 1).
- the first set of mice were given SbGal+ strain with the noncaloric sweetener sucralose in their water (control group, background luminescence).
- the second set of mice were given SbGal+-NLuc with the noncaloric sweetener sucralose in their water (no induction control group).
- mice were given SbGal+-NLuc with the noncaloric sweetener sucralose and galactose as inducer in their water.
- Daily feces were collected for CFU enumeration and nanoluciferase activity detection via luminescent readout.
- intestinal tissues were collected for CFU enumeration, nanoluciferase activity detection and imaging. All luminescence values were normalized by CFU. Feces obtained from mice given SbGal+-NLuc and consumed galactose had higher luminescence values compared to the control groups, indicating higher NLuc presence in the feces.
- mice given SbGal+- NLuc but no galactose consumption were able to synthesize NLuc in the gastrointestinal tract, mostly in the cecum.
- Bioluminescence imaging of the tissue samples confirmed that the hotspots for NLuc production upon galactose induction were in small intestine and cecum followed by colon.
- Example 8 [094] Inducible systems enable in vivo logical operations in the mouse gut. Using logic gates in engineered probiotics allows for precise control over protein synthesis in the gut. This can lead to more effective and targeted treatments for a variety of conditions, with fewer side effects compared to systemic drug administration.
- a transcriptional AND gate was constructed in which both galactose and aTc are necessary for activation of transcription, by cloning two Tet operators (separated by a T-rich spacer) upstream of the pGAL1 promoter, which contains an operator for the Gal4p activator protein.
- TetR repressor is bound to the Tet operator sites, preventing readthrough, while in the absence of galactose, the Gal4p activator is absent, preventing transcription. Only when both inducers are present should transcription of downstream genes occur.
- Nanoluciferase (NanoLuc) was selected as the reporter for AND gate behavior.
- mice Only when aTc NCSU-2022-177-02 NCSU-41009.601 was present in the chow diet media, yeGFP was produced.4 groups of antibiotic-treated mice were MO[KS JOLLKWKSY BH8GQj&U82 ⁇ C6C&> ⁇ ZI GSJ K]UTXKJ YT OSJZIYOTS ITSJOYOTSX OS ⁇ GYKW LTW + JG ⁇ X "5G ⁇ )& 5G ⁇ *#' 7OWXY XKY TL ROIK ⁇ KWK MO[KS BH8GQj&U82 ⁇ C6C&> ⁇ ZI XYWGOS ⁇ OYN YNK STSIGQTWOI X ⁇ KKYKSKW XZIWGQTXK OS YNKOW ⁇ GYKW "8GQ a GCI &#' BKITSJ XKY TL ROIK ⁇ KWK MO[KS BH8GQj&U82 ⁇ C6
- Single inducer groups exhibited some level of AND-gate activation due to availability of galactose in the diet and/or in the mucus or strength of galactose operation sidetracking Tet repression (as observed in the in vitro testing), however the maximum activation was possible when both inducers present in vivo.
